Since you are all anti-abortion, what do you propose as a solution?
Abortion by a Different Name
The truth is it does not matter what you call a thing, but rather what it is. To a degree this is true. Things are what they are, whether we call them something different or not. To another degree it is not true, because what we call things is able to change the perception of them.
Another area where semantics is played is in the discussion of abortion. It sounds less onerous then I’m having an abortion and choosing which child in my womb I want to keep. Or I’ve decided to kill one of my children today. Changing the names doesn’t change the act. Just like calling a rose by a different name doesn’t change the rose. Calling abortion by a different name doesn’t change what has occurred.
When it comes to abortion, let’s understand what it is. It is taking a life of another. No matter the name it is horrific.

And by the way, that 3 month old kid in your belly is not a #ing human being, okay?
In heaven, children are there, all the ones who died young, in childbirth, or were aborted.

"In 1988, evangelist Jesse Duplantis was taken up into Heaven. While he was there, he saw a multitude of small children, singing and praising God as they played little harps. When he asked the angel who had brought him there who they were, he was told they were the children the earth did not want. As Duplantis watched these children, who appeared to be from three to ten years old, he realized that they were children who had been lost to abortion. The angel explained to him that these children longed to see their mothers come to Heaven and be reunited with them." Link
"This dome," said my guide, "is the place where all infants from earth are gathered for instruction. The outer buildings are the nurseries where they are first brought, to be nourished by their guardian angel."
"Whenever an infant dies on earth, the guardian angel who brings it here considers all of its abilities and places it with others of similar ability. According to its artistic, scientific or social abilities, each is given a home best suited to the development of its gifts."
Nine Days in Heaven: The Vision of Marietta Davis: Dennis Prince, Nolene Prince
CAUGHT UP TO THE INFANTS' PARADISE
"I believe all she says is true. (Marietta Davis) I too was able to see where the infants are. Everything she described was as I saw it. But I saw and was told more specifically they were all the babies that were born and died, and miscarriages and abortions. I was only allowed in that one room, I was not allowed to travel around like she was. When I was there, I was at home. That is where we belong. Make every effort to get there." Link
"Colton, still 4 years old, told his mother “you had a baby die in your tummy didn’t you”, which completely shocked them both because they had never told him about their miscarriage. They asked him how he knew and he said that he met his sister in Heaven and she told him what happened."
"Well he’s 7 years old now and it took a couple of years for his parents to really understand what happened, but when Colton Burpo was four years he was having surgery in the hospital for a burst appendix. While he was in surgery he apparently had some sort of out of body experience and could see what his parents were doing. He witnessed that his dad was praying and his mom on her cellphone. Both parents say they have no clue how he knew that, but that it’s absolutely true. And the story just gets more interesting from there.
Apparently during the same surgery Colton went to Heaven where he recounts how he met his grandfather who he had never known, who he later recognized in photos. The interesting thing is that he didn’t recognize photos of his grandfather as an old man with glasses, which is how everyone knew him, but rather as a young man. Colton’s father literally had go find a photo of ‘Pop’ as a young man before Colton was able to recognize him. Now that’s pretty wild. Link

That's a strange outcome for the poll. If I killed someone and didn't have any regrets they would probably call me a sociopath. Funny how that works.

Whats the point of this poll? Typical divisive politics in the run up to an election year.
Regardless, its shameful.
Especially when you consider the fact that approximately 97% of all abortions are nothing more than birth control.
Thats right, these people are terminating a life simply because theyre either too stupid or too irresponsible to practice safe sex.
Whats worse, according to this poll, they dont even regret it...
Sad commentary on our society.

Are you serious? You criticize Time Magazine and a Peer-Reviewed Scientific Journal as my source and then you quote some evangelists trying to sell their book and gain fame? Hilarious logic.
Next you'll tell me the Earth is 6000 years old.
The mainstream news essentially serves as a primary tool for social conditioning or mind-control.
Centralized Control of History, Media, and Academia
I love how you claim that I must have a mental disorder of some kind for valuing the life of an animal. Hypocrite much?

God I wish I was on such moral high ground as many of you posting here.
How is the weather up there, among the gods?
@ Painterz: Surely that cannot be the case, as all women that have abortions are murderous sluts.
Serious eye roll

I am curious as to what has made abortion such a hot topic recently.
Has there been new legislation on it or something that has kicked the hornets nest? If not I guess this is just one of the effects of impending elections.

No, I claimed that valuing the life of an animal above the life of a human is a mental disorder, which it is. I have no idea what the medical diagnostic term is, but the layperson description is "Bambi Syndrome."
I eat animals, I wear their skins, I use their bones, I use their feathers, and I use their products to feed and provide for my family. Humans > Animals. I'm not seeing the hypocrite here.
3. In any other scenario, one human deciding the fate of another with zero concern over the wants and needs of the latter is sociopathic behavior.
